In Central and eastern Pennsylvania PPL Electric territory, an electric outage is usually local distribution, not a collapse of the bulk grid. Typical PPL Electric patterns:
Heavy, wet snow loads trees on PPL laterals while Philadelphia only slushes.
A glaze event along the Susquehanna can outweigh a typical thunderstorm week.
Leftover rain bands flood and drop trees across mid-state counties.
